No offense, but his list- other than Y&R, Melody-Damn right, and Eric- DAMN RIGHT-

was a joke.

I would still give OLTL Best Soap- people forget Y&R wasn't exactly stellar the entire year either- and OLTL took chances. But Y&R's cast is the best.

Drake? The plane crash episode?

Alley Mills gave some of the worst performances I have ever seen- granted, she was made to wipe honey all over a woman and have a bear eat her- but she was awful. I love a comedic villian, but she was awful.

Bruce Weitz?

Actually, I think this is the first year he's given that title to Y&R. I remember vividly in the 90's he would give that title to EVERY show but Y&R and AMC. In the 90's, of couse, both Y&R and AMC were ratings and critics darlings, so he might have wanted to be different. This is the first time this decade he's given Best Show to Y&R as well.

Thank u Y&Rturner. Y&R was not great the whole year but it's been great the last 6 months or so. I can't think of one thing that Victor did that stands out. I would have nominated Peter Bergman. I still ay he should have wont that emmy and not Micheal Baldwin( can' t think of actors name right) Oh yea Christin LeBlanco

What the heck are the Man/Woman of the year awards for? :huh:

I don't really mind Logan naming Y&R his best soap since it was my 2nd best for the year - OLTL just had more better months (OLTL had 8 good months; Y&R had 5) than Y&R.

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
